I’ve been coming to Daigo Sushi for a long time, so this visit was a bit bittersweet. The fish was fresh and I still had a good time, but the seasoning didn’t quite hit the way it used to.
What really stood out was that they no longer offer a nigiri omakase, and the new $100 minimum just to sit at the counter was disappointing to hear—especially as a regular. Daigo used to feel more intimate and special, and while it’s still good, it’s slowly losing some of the charm that made me keep coming back.

Daigo’s food is absolutely delicious. The ji kimedai was outstanding, and the Homemade ice cream dessert (MUST TRY!!) at the end was the perfect finish. It’s easily one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve had in the Bay Area in this price range.

The atmospheres are quite normal. The food is quite good, but the service is really slow and it’s not good. I will not come here again.

Got the omakase, was expensive but hienstly cheaper than surrounding omakase offerings. It was very delicious, but could have used more bulk, as I left feeling a little peckish.

Authentic little sushi spot offering fantastic mid range Omakase and specialties. We come for birthdays every year.

Amazing high quality sushi in Palo Alto, way better than most chains and many big name sushi restaurants in the Bay Area.

We went to Daigo for a 3 generation family dinner. We were all delighted! We were sitting on the terrasse, the food was delicious, the fish very fresh. Quick and friendly service. I recommend!
Fantastic! Sat at the sushi counter for omakase service. Chef explain each bite/dish and service was excellent. Great casual neighborhood vibes, comfortable seating. Most importantly, excellent quality fish that shined w/ traditional and understated preparations. I'll be back when in town for work.

Hamachi shots were insane. The tofu was some of the best I’ve ever had, super soft and fried just a bit for the perfect thin, crispy texture. The sauce for the tofu was also so yum!!! Crab was pretty good, though both the crab and tofu got soggy quickly due to the sauce. The o toro nigiri was honestly the best thing from this dinner. SO. TENDER. Salmon toro and Ebodai (butter fish) were also tender, but the o toro was unmatched. Honestly could’ve passed on the yellowtail maki, it was very rice-y but still good. Yuzu cheesecake was a great way to end this magical meal. We are moved.

- Made a reservation by phone a few weeks in advance. They confirmed the reservation the night before by phone call - Reserved an outside seat but when we got there we were informed the seat may be hot on a summer evening and we were given the option to sit inside. We chose to sit inside and were glad we did! Enjoyed the atmosphere. There are a few seats at the bar and then ~6 small tables inside -We got the omakase- we were impressed with the variety of fish, the unique flavor, and how quickly the food came out. There was very little wait between the courses -Had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the food
